I got to give a talk in sacrament meeting yesterday. I didn´t know about it until 7 am
that morning, with church starting at 9. And I didn´t have time to
prepare anything, since we had to run around to bring investigators to
church. I also didn´t have a topic. So I just picked a couple of related
Liahona articles I had found in my search of cool things in old
Liahonas. I based it off of "Living with Real Intent" from this October,
and just talked about how we need to always have a goal in mind, to
keep an eternal perspective, and never stop doing good things of our own
free will. I felt the Spirit so strongly, and I knew that the Spirit
guided me to know what to say. I urged all of the members to go to the
temple, because there´s a trip to Honduras in the district at the
beginning of December. Not many are planning on going, and I just urged
them with all my heart to go. Because I´m so beyond jealous that they
can go to the temple, and I´m over here dying because I want to go so
bad and have to wait another year. It´s so far, an 8 hour bus ride, but
I´d hop right on that thing if I could. I can´t wait until I can go to
the temple again ;) Please treasure that wonderful sacred building. Go
as often as you can. Go for me, haha.
So also, I ate chicken
heart. I didn´t know what it was at first. It´s called Titile, or
Piedra. It´s a part of the chicken´s chest cavity, including cartilage
and part of it´s heart. They wouldn´t tell me what it was, it looked
like some kind of sea food, but I ate it and it was pretty good. Then I
learned later what it was. First time I´ve ever eaten anything crazy
over here ;) The people are pretty tame with their food, but they eat
all of the animal. They don´t understand why we throw their organs away,
haha.
So yeah. I hope you all have an excellent week. Strive
for the temple! Keep the commandments! You´ll be so blessed if you do, I
promise! That´s really the secret to life. I know it is.
